Summary

I'm a strategic digital and public affairs professional with a passion for advocacy, communications, and audience engagement. In my current role, I specialize in crafting digital strategies that shape narratives, mobilize audiences, and drive impact. Whether it's refining messaging, managing paid media, or leveraging social platforms, I know how to turn complex policy issues into compelling campaigns that grab our audience's attention.


My experience spans industries like energy, healthcare, technology, education, and government, where I worked closely with elected officials, advocacy groups, and industry leaders. Previously, in my role at The Woodlands Chamber, I built my foundation in government affairs, marketing, and stakeholder engagement, leading councils, managing media outreach, and executing high-profile events. I thrive at the intersection of policy, strategy, and digital innovation, using my expertise to influence conversations that matter.
